Success!

Smell that? Take a deep wiff. That my friends is the smell of sweet success.
I accomplished an amazing feat today.
Oh yes, that's right. AND I did it all by myself.
I unclogged the kitchen drain today.
Now, I know you are sitting there shaking your head thinking "OK, that's just stupid". Get over it, let me have my little successes where I can get them.
I have been fighting the clogged drain for nearly two weeks. Thought I had it fixed only to put all the pipes back together, reinstall the garbage disposal, and begin to wash dishes only to discover that the clog had retreated but not surrendered. I swear I could hear it chuckle at me as the water started to back up once again. I went through 3 bottles of Drano, a missed appointment with a plumber (blessing in disguise, 'cause I just saved myself about $200), and I bought myself a plumbing snake.
Oh yes, it has been a long two weeks, the kids resorted to raiding our camping supplies for disposable dishes. Have you ever washed the dishes in the bathtub? I don't recommend it.
But today...
Ahhh... Today....
Today I conquered the drain, it only took some muscle, a pipe wrench, almost every inch of a 25' plumbing snake, and more than an hour of my life that I will never again have, but I did it. I conquered the clog all by myself.
I'm going to sit here and bask in my success, remembering the beautiful site of water swirling down the drain, the sweet gurgle of success as each gallon I poured down the sink happily swished it's way down the beautiful clean and clear pipes.
Ahhhhh.....
